Mariachis from around the world take part in International Mariachi Festival

Mariachis from all over the world gathered in the Mexican city of Guadalajara on Sunday to take part in the annual International Mariachi festival.Performers played music, danced and sang as they paraded through the city to celebrate Mexico's much loved musical tradition of mariachi.


The music is recognised around the world as the first truly Mexican music genre and has been kept alive by families that in some cases have been playing in the same mariachi bands for more than a century.......
